What We're Reading for October 23rd!

Who: Eastview students
What: Bringing Down the House (Mezrich)
When: Friday, October 23, 2009
Where: 11:30 a.m. at Buffalo Wild Wings in Apple Valley
Why: Because REAL MEN READ!

Bringing Down the House is an action-filled caper carried out by the unlikeliest of cons - supersmart geeks. Gambling pervaded the M.I.T. campus, and genius kids with money and glittering futures were just as likely to be found in a Paradise Island casino as in the school library. A highly elite group of mathletes was recruited to join The Club, a small, secret blackjack organization dedicated to counting cards and beating the major casinos across the nation at their own game. As a successful ring of card savants, backed by mysterious ringleader and shadowy investors, they infilitrated Vegas and won millions.

RMR Event Thursday - August 13th!

Hi everyone! I hope you've been enjoying a fun summer full of friends, family, activity, and of course some reading.

We are still planning to meet on Thursday, August 13th at "Buffalo Wild Wings" in Apple Valley at 11:30 a.m.

Please bring your own money for lunch and of course order what you want. We'll sit around and eat good food and talk about the book(s) you read over the summer.

We'll also talk about which book our group would like to read for the fall...there is a chance that author, Vince Flynn could attend one of our events this year so perhaps we could select another one of his titles. Certainly we'll entertain any recommendation you put forth.

Take care - I look forward to seeing you on Thursday (Aug. 13th)...why, because REAL MEN READ!
